Evaluation of Trustworthy Scrum Employment for Agile Software Development based on the Views of Software Developers

Software development processes, in general, focus on organizing the order of the phases to develop the intended software product within time and cost constraints. However, the vulnerabilities of the software projects released to the market indicate the need of a security oriented software development process along with providing the time and cost criteria. Moreover, to our best knowledge, there exist some studies stating that the security activities in conventional software development contribute to the effectiveness in providing the security. However, if the agile software development processes are reviewed, it can be seen that principles of agile and security do not match at some points. At this point, the model of Trustworthy Scrum (TS) comes to prominence by enabling the security activities to cooperate with the agile methods and to work in Scrum framework. In this study, a statistical analysis related to the feasibility of the Trustworthy Scrum model was conducted in order to analyze this mismatch based on scientific evidence.
